My 17 month old son has had a runny nose for a couple of days now. I've tried Benedryl and Dimitabb and its not working. I can't seem to find an over the counter medicine for just a runny nose. He doesn't have a cough, fever, or chest congestion. We don't have health insurance and I can't afford a doctor now, so please don't suggest it. Any mothers out there know of any products or home remedies for my little one runny nose? Thanks.

I have a 5 year old that has recently developed a studdering problem. He was a slow learner with speaking anyway. In fact, my 3 year daughter is easier to understand sometimes. I have looked at other questions on this site and some people are saying it could be attention or nervousness. this could be true; he was the first child at got the most attention and when the other two were born, naturally, the attention had to be shared. how do i solve his studdering problem and keep the attention equal between all the kids.

I got a good deal on In Step EZ strider but it didn't come with directions. There are two red switches, and a pin, and we can't figure out what to do with either, or how to fold the stroller down.

I had no idea that our health insurance doesn't include maternity insurance! Just found out I am pregnant (I haven't been to the dr yet) and was just checking into our insurance papers to make sure all sonograms and dr visits are included. BIG SURPRISE. What can I do? Does anyone know if I can purchase maternity insurance now?

Every December our school provides baby gifts to an organization for unwed moms. We fill stockings, but this year we want to give diaper bags with baby items to them. We have 20 staff members at Holy Family school in Citrus Heights, Ca that want to do this. Diaper bags will make it more special. How do we arrange for Similac to help us with this? We will do the filling, all we need are the bags. Do you have a contact number?

My 2 in half yr old son whines ALL the time. His speech is slow, he's not speaking as many words as he should - he is in speech therapy. My question ia how to I teach him not to whine so much.
I've tried telling him to use his big boy voice, telling him I don't understand him when he whines, I've tried time out, and I've also tried ignoring him when he whines but he just gets louder and louder. I try walking away from him, but he just follows me screaming. I've tried putting him i his room, but he continues to whine and scream. It's driving me crazy. I love him to death, but I can't stand the whining anymore. Help!

For my father in laws b-day, he handed my husband a piece of paper with an appointment on it for my son to go to speach theropy, My son is a normal active 4 yr. old, and I don't think he has any speech problems. My father in law never took and interest in my daughter and her speech, so why my son? Then yesterday he stated that he wanted to go to the appointment with me. My kids are happy, spoiled, and totally loved children, why is he butting in? If I thought for an instant my son was having difficuley with talking, believe me, I would be the first to have it checked out. Thanks for you opinions.

Her dad wants her to abort and im totally against it. She doesnt want to abort. Her dad gave me the choice of either paying for the abortion or him callin the cops for her bein a minor. My parents and i are totally against it so we stick to our belief and not pay for it. I live in florida. I chose to not pay for cuz its my child and i want it. Now that he is gonna call the cops, im jus waitin here for them to come. I want to know wat are the laws for me bein 18 and she 16, but we did it when i was 17.

Yesterday saw a little girl's name on her desk in my son's classroom and it was spelled Macky Anne. Her mother pronounces it Muh-KEE-un. Weirder than weird. Poor little thing has to go through life with that name.
